Dimitry Tursunov does not have his tongue in his pocket in the last interview he gave to the Russian site Knowledge sport. After criticizing the boring game of Kevin Anderson and pushing a rant against the treatment reserved for trainers, the coach of Anett Kontaveit since this summer has this time mentioned the salary of the coaches on the Tour.
“Salaries are different on tour. I think if a coach earns $ 1000 a week – it’s not a big amount. But some players pay exorbitant amounts of $ 7000–8000. For example, Ivan Lendl, I’m sure, asks for more, he can afford it. Generally speaking, the salary of a tennis coach is a nominal category. The bonuses that you receive if a player performs well are much more interesting. Again, the salary varies – it can be up to 30% of the price. There are coaches who travel without any pay, but demand a significant percentage of tournament winnings money. “
